Possible Shortage Of Sports Materials

Rust And Rot Of Clubs

(By "Birdie")

THE TIMELY but not altogether gloomy warning forecast of Mr F. Miller, sports manager of one of Aus. tralia's biggest firms, that the effect of a long war will be a shortage in sports materials was printed on this page on Monday, and it certainly wouldn't do any harm for people in Hongkong and the Far East to pay just a little attention to the words that have been written.

LONDON, June 17 (Reuler) — Januz Kurocinski, famous Polish long-distance runner, who won the 10,000 metres championship in the Olymple Games at Los Angeles In 1932, has been tortured to death by the Gestapo, according to news reaching Polish circles here,

Kurocinski, like hundreds of other prominent citizens, was charged by the Germans of being connected with anti-German underground activities. Although lacking proof, the Gestapo determined to extract information from Kusocinski, and tortured him, for several months before killing him. They Arst broke his legs" which brought him many athletic victories In various parts of the tuorld, and during the second Investigation they brake his left arm and damaged his right eye.

The junction of the head to the shaft is a vulnemble spot. Steel can be attacked through here, and the danger of snapping, especially with irons, cannot be minimised.

About golf, Mr Miller said: Re- striction on imports of steel tubing and heavy local demands may stop the manufacture of golf clubs in year or 20. Used motor tyres may be boiled down to make, not the pre- sent type, but a solid gutta-percha ball with only one-third the driving distance.

It is obvious that peculiar bidding, psychics and wild jump-overbids are no use in such a game, indeed the hands have been very carefully selected,
